Small bug: ampersands in thread titles show up as & amp ; (without spaces), otherwise I am really liking this app! If you still need help with PM testing, I have plat myself.

Thanks for the bug report - will be fixed in the next release.

Private Messaging is done (the way SA edits folders is a mess!) and a beta will be out shortly so you guys can test it out. :) The majority of my time has been spent on building tests for the app's features. That way I can ensure that everything works as intended before I push to the marketplace. It's a long process!

I do, too. Wonder if they changed the way you log in. Looking into it.

EDIT: Yup, they did. Fix incoming, hooray. Not that it would help in this matter, but I really wish the bastardized version of silverlight on WP7 would allow for the saving of cookies to disk.

I can field this. Otesanek, also known as Little Otik or Greedy Guts by Jan Svankmajer. It's great.

Back to the topic at hand, I just got a windows phone and was so happy to find this only to have it stop working. Can't wait for it to come back! Good App Bootleg.

Thanks, guys.

The authentication issue was a bit tougher than I thought, so I had to step away from it for a bit. Two Irish Car Bombs later, I figured it out. :v: Even better, I can save the cookie data, so no more login screen after you successfully do it the first time!

Thanks for being patient!

This submission process is taking a lot longer than usual. It hasn't even been signed and encrypted yet (which is the next step after uploading the thing). I've submitted a ticket with Marketplace support to see what's taking so long.

The fix has been accepted by the marketplace and will be available tomorrow or Monday. It uses browser authentication, so hopefully this will allow us to login regardless of any updates to the forums.

The update is live in the marketplace now. Maybe it's just me but I have a 1st gen phone and it feels like the scrolling behavior has improved (I don't have smooth scrolling on).

It's remembering my login but I still have a 5s wait (on wifi) before I see my bookmarks. Mostly it sits on the blue title screen with "Connected. Logging in". I thought the cookie was being saved so that wouldn't need to happen any more?

The login takes longer than usual since it has to navigate to the site, add your login info to the web form, then submit. The trade off is that you only need to do it once (cookie is saved).

If the app is asking you to login every time you start it up, then it's a database issue; reinstall the app and let me know what happens.

As far as posters' names not showing up, I can't reproduce that, yet. Looking into it.

Uninstalling and reinstalling seemed to solve both issues for me. Before it had a black background while my phone is using a white background.

I can confirm I also observe all of these issues. The app also posts an error message when it's first started almost every time - I just had it send an email about it. Hitting cancel allows the app to log in, but it has to go through the complete login process.

Reinstalling seems to have fixed all of these issues.

After uninstalling and reinstalling, mine requires me to enter both my password and username every time I launch the app. Odd.

I used the app once after the update I think, but since then I get the success! message and then a login screen that is grayed out but doesn't go anywhere. If I touch the username and password fields get cleared and I can try again but I never get past the loading screen.

Any ideas?
